Women: Do you get offended when a man is wearing spandex at the gym?

Offended by spandex? Nope. I have better ways to spend my energy at the gym. I do, however, get offended by men touching MY spandex at the gym. So take note.0

when men wear spandex, it's called "compression gear", so no...they dont.0

Offended? No.
Depending on how tight it is and if it is see-through at all ... well. Let's just say I might get more exercise from laughing than lifting.0 -
Actually I do get offended if I can see the outline of his junk. Now if he was FINE that is another story!!!!0

I don't really care what anyone wears. You mind your business and I'll mind mine.0

Speaking for myself only, generally speaking, no I am not offended by men wearing spandex, but it depends on how tight the spandex is.
I think most guys at my gym wear regular shorts on top of their compression garments, though.0 -
Yeah I usually do this, but I forgot my shorts the other day and got some weird looks from a few of the womenSpeaking for myself only, generally speaking, no I am not offended by men wearing spandex, but it depends on how tight the spandex is.

I don't pay attention to men at the gym, I just realized.0

Mmmm...I only know one guy who wears compression pants lifting and it's a-ok with me.0

Offend? I don't think it's the world's most aesthetically pleasing choice for even the dedicated gym-goer, but I suppose it's comfortable to work out in, so please yourself on that one as far as I am concerned.
Then again, I'm a swimmer and God knows it's impossible for nut-huggers to look anything but absurd on the average swimmer's body, and it's pretty much required for the sport. So, I don't get tied up in knots about what people wear unless it smells bad or has spikes that interfere with MY workout, ya know?0 -
At my old gym, there was a guy who worked out in short denim shorts. And one day, he had a hole in them. I wasn't offended, but I went the other way.0

You remind me of a nasty visual burned on my retina. It was a Speedo on a beanpole of a man, stick-thin with a pot belly, and pale as a ghost. You couldn't see the Speedo, though, because he carried his waist wallet in the full frontal position. We played behind him at the mini-golf course and he kept digging in there for spare change.
Nasty. Visual. Burned.
Forever.
Offended, no.0 -

Yes I do think there is a difference. I see cleavage (tight tops, plunging necklines) everyday on women. It is rare that I see a man's junk bouncing up and down and around at the gym.0 -
There's a guy at my gym who wears really thin, relatively tight sweatpants, and when he lifts he seems to get a bit...um...hard. It is a bit unpleasantly distracting, but I still wouldn't say it's offensive0
